But I believe you were on the "bake the cake" side, right?
So you only approve of discrimination when it's your opponent.
I'm stunned, I tell ya

Is it hard eating and drinking whist talking out of both sides of one's mouth ?
..
are you advocating the provocateurs of Fox have their civil rights protected by the government ?
I see your point, they have been shunned,lynched, denied life "liberty" and the pursuit of happiness for generations at the hands of systemic discrimination.
To answer your question, yes I thought and still think said baker, by law, should have to bake the cake.
To help level the field, I support the law

I do believe you've missed the point.
No surprises there
was there a point ?
The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is to make sure he doesn’t get a gun.
One thing about Sturg’s post is that it seems to be about inquiring to be a roommate, not just renting an apartment from a landlord. I can understand not wanting to share space with someone with some obvious red flag incompatibility as opposed to not being willing to engage in a commercial transaction with them. That said, it also seems kinda rude to respond that way.
You need a girl friend
Just need to make sure she's not smaller than me

I think if you read the relevant case documents you might not want to go out on a limb here. If you’d rather just post click-bait catnip headlines for aggrieved conservative victimization addicts, that’s your right.
So far we’re supposed to have our hair on fire about an anti-gay-marriage conservative being turned down as a roommate by a gay couple and a convoluted university disciplinary proceeding against a textbook stalker with multiple priors.
If there’s anything else I need to be concerned about this weekend, please let me know, because I’m scheduled to be hysterically screaming at the sky today with the rest of the TDS crowd.
Cathy Scroggs, who was Mizzou’s Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs when the incident involving John and Jane occurred, was asked during a recent deposition if the accusation against John satisfied the school’s policy for sexual misconduct regarding one having “power or authority” over another. Scroggs responded, “I think he was perceived as having power over her.”
She was further questioned as to the “nature of [John’s] power over her.” The interviewer asked if it was just John’s “size” that contributed to that “power.”
Scroggs responded: “His physical size.”
The interviewer then said part of the conduct code “doesn’t require him to be a teacher.” And asked, “When it says person of authority, it doesn’t mean, like, a teacher or boss?”
Scroggs responded: “Well, I suppose it could; but in this case, no, I didn’t interpret it that way.”
Did you read the rest of it?
no doubt
he always finds the real pulse of what is wrong with the country
"For there is always light, if only we are brave enough to see it. If only we are brave enough to be it." Amanda Gorman
"When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross"
Yes... at what point is the accusation that the "man had power over the girl due to his physical size" not accurate?
At what point is that an accurate reflection of the substance of her complaint? You’re framing this as an issue of a title IX complaint being somehow based on the disparity in their size. If you read the document—which is his legal filing and as such provides the most favorable view of his actions—you’ll see that the complaint was based on his unwillingness to leave her alone, to respect boundaries, to avoid unwanted physical contact, all after repeated requests...it meets the standard for harrassment and/or stalking. And, by the admission of his own lawyer, it wasn’t the first time he’d stalked or harassed a female instructor. So I’m asking why you’re content to ignore that and portray this as being about their physical size.
I appreciate the summary of the rest of the charges. I was a bit more focused and concerned that she indicated that the boys size was a factor in the case.
We are all free to focus on what we wish. But in a lot of these matters you bring to our attention you focus on details that are absurd and really tangential to the issue at hand. Kind of like having a book about a mass murderer that focuses on how kind he or she was to animals.
The quotes you cite from Scroggs sound ridiculous. But they aren't the heart of the matter are they.

"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
I saw this story covered in two media outlets with a particular ideological slant. Both presented it as a man getting in trouble either for asking a girl on a date, or for being physically larger than a girl. Your highlighting of that, if unaware of the rest of the story, may have been in good faith, but the presentation of the story that way by those outlets certainly was not. It’s clickbait, sure, but it’s insidious because it tends to invalidate the very real experience of harassment here, and of that experience in general. I’d say it actually supports the opposite point of view from what the headlines suggest. It also, IMO, says something about what these outlets think of their readers.
I think it's fair to acknowledge the title 9 concerns, because it signals to me that an admin can go to great lengths to punish someone.
For this story, I saw the tweet posted about 7 or 8 times and finally made my way over here.
But your point is fair and well-taken.
